I am so, so glad Snape is now Harry's guardian. All this pressure on the boy... By those he should have been able to trust, the wizard public that flip-flops between a shallow support for Harry and turning their backs on him, even Harry himself. I doubt he would have lived long enough to face Moldyshorts.

about 59...

Reading this makes me wonder how come you haven't done a Severitus story
in a while. I liked this chapter, it was heartfelt & thought out well.

Looking forward to the day Harry suddenly calls Severus 'dad'.

That sounds like the Harry we all know and love! Angst-ridden, but accurate. Excellent update!

It's nice to see Harry wanting some things for himself and actually able to articulate them to an adult. I think this chapter did a great job of showing how Harry distrusts adults and authority figures but still really wants to be able to trust someone. It's also really good that the pacing is so realistic because something like this would take time and need to build. I thought it was really sweet how Draco's letter just assumed that Harry was now in the role of 'son' to Severus because without that being pointed out as a possibility I don't think it would have ever occurred to Harry to think that way or even the possibility of that. Awesome chapter I really liked it :)

I can understand that Harry needs to think about what he wants and to be honest about it. Severus allows that time and honesty no matter his own opinions. Already ding a great job as guardian. Will they discuss what to do about the tournament? So excited to see more Draco!!!! Love it, kudos.

I am just thinking now like.. oh right.. a large house.. can you imagine if Dash was as large as the one in the chamber of secrets and had to stay in a 'modest' house? XD

Snape offered something brilliant which, regardless of angering Harry due to keeping a secret, helped him realize Sirius was not the one suited to take care of him. I want Harry to keep embracing his slytherin side. I love that he announced that he like Draco here. I hope that means that we will be seeing their relationship begin to bloom. I wonder what will happen with the tournament stuff now. kudos. can't wait for more.

That ending....The FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS! I know that as much as Harry loves Black and would have wished for nothing in the world for Black to be the Father figure he needs, I'm glad he was willing to hear Snape explain himself as to why he did what he did. I'm also glad you had Harry take a moment to step back and exam other peoples' actions to finally get some truth in his life even if it isn't nice. I can't believe Black would rather let Harry die than let Snape save his life. And Harry having a bond with Dash and being friends with Draco and Snape, even acting Slytherin sometimes was like some kind of illness. What a horrible man. But this is also the same man who allowed his werewolf lover to live in the same house as Harry without making sure Harry was safe should anything ever happen or go wrong. And we all saw how well that went! Harry now has a Father figure who will and has put Harry before himself. Best Christmas present ever, Harry!

Oh the tears that fell, from Harry and I. Such a beautifully written chapter. Glad to see Harry at least partially accepting Snape's affection and intentions that he live. Thanks

Oh, poor Harry! Sirius really needs to get a clue! Excellent update!
